Nga kuloh ke ninac se suc, ke el liye tuh nga inse fuhlwactyak ke tuhlihk mukul se, el fahk, “Wen, kuhtuh inse puhsisacl uh ingena kuh in mwe kahsruh yohk.”

Tusruhktuh inse puhsisacl uh tiacna ma se in luti nuh sin tuhlihk muhkwena. Kuht nuhkwewa enenuh in kampare in inse puhsisacl liki na met ah. Inse puhsisacl uh enenweyuck in eis mwe insewowo luhn wosasuc. Inse puhsisacl uh ahkkweyekuht in puhla inse toasr ke kuht oruh ma koluk kuh tahfonglac ac oruh kuht kuh in auliyak. Inse puhsisacl uh ahkkweyekuht in oruh wo liki met ke ohiyacn pahpah ninac, tuhlihk mukul ac muhtwacn, mukul ac muhtwacn pahyuck, mwet tuhma ac kawuck.

Ke atac se sahyac an, inse fuhlwact suc wacngihn srihpac kuh in ahkkolukye kuhpahsr luhn sucu, kuhnahoslah pahyuck, ac kuhnaoslah kawuck. Yohk srihpac na pwacye in esam inse puhsisacl ke kowos puhla fohs in lohm suwos.

Kais sie sesr ngwetacng nuh ke moul ma pahtpaht, tuh met liki ma inge kuh in sikyak, kuht in kampare nuh ke ma pahngonyuck “infahlfahl luhn inse puhsisacl.”8

Yac ekahsr somlah, tuhlihk mukuhl yac 15 nahtuhsr Erik el kweokkihn mwe kweok luhn insifacl. Liyacl ke el mutul in mas puch liki wik se ahkolukyelah insiyacsr.
